This study aims to acquire multidisciplinary information with an emphasis on biogeochemical actors, in an integrated way with the socioenvironmental activities practiced in two different estuarine systems, under different tidal action, one with micro tidal action (tidal amplitude about 1.6 m) and another with macro tide action (tidal amplitude about 6 m), which can generate important know…
The proposed research aims at a better understanding of the interannual variability of the heat content and meridional transports across 34.5S, a zonal section referred as SAMBA (the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) Basin-wide Array). It will investigate impacts of global changes on the ocean and the feedback of changes in the South Atlantic Circulation on the Reg…
The research support offered by laboratories, equipment, vessels and research support bases that compose the Oceanographic Institute of the University of São Paulo are intensively used by the researchers for the development of their projects. In this way, laboratory equipment, bases and floating media that are in need of updating or replacement must be implemented to meet current demands …
The aim of this research is to know the carbon cycle considering the coastal region of Pernambuco, with some aspects in the Recife region and taking a reference point at eastern Atlantic Ocean (West basin), near Fernando de Noronha, an area protected from the anthropogenic influence. The emission of CO2 is observed with attention by the scientific community at IPCC, considering some scena…
Estuaries, the main target of this study, are characterized as semi-enclosed coastal water bodies that have free connection with the open sea, within which seawater is gradually diluted by freshwater from land drainage. Estuaries are ecosystems that export large amounts of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), being of great importance…
A combination of laboratory and in situ sediment incubations will be applied to unravel sedimentary processes magnitude involved in the nitrogen cycle in two São Paulo coastal areas. The aim is to highlight how natural conditions and anthropogenic activities affect the N cycle. The use of traditional flux measurements associated with isotope technics will allow the nitrogen cycle to be fo…
Once CO2 enters the marine systems, different pathways are activated in order to the retention and new release to the atmosphere. Some signs, when followed, may indicate CO2 paths through these marine systems and higher (or lower) retention of carbon in these aquatic systems. This study's main goal is to understand the behavior of dissolved carbon in the marine system considering the inor…
Iron plays an important role in the biogeochemical cycle of the major nutrients (N, P, Si) in the ocean and is considered to limit biological activity in certain ocean regions that have a replete complement of major nutrients but low production of phytoplankton (HNLP) due to low ambient iron concentrations. The controversy over the role of iron in ocean productivity has stimulated the dev…

The 15N stable isotope pairing technique (IPT) has been used to determine rates of benthic N loss and retention processes for a long time, but your use for in situ measurements with benthic chambers is still not total determined. We use the 15NO3- addition to laboratorial whole core incubations to observe the nitrogen pathways in two estuarine systems of São Paulo (Brazil) as part of the …
